T Cambria Woodturning
Forked River, NJ

I was born and raised in Newark, NJ. At the age of 23, I relocated to Forked River, NJ. I was introduced to wood-turning by my father-in-law, Robert W. (Bob) Broschart (Dad,) in 1995. Dad soon became my master, mentor, and inspiration. I developed proficiency in turning natural edge bowls before even attempting spindle turning. I completed two NJ Folk-Art Apprenticeships, with Dad as my master, to learn the techniques for turning “blocks” and “molds” for glass-workers. I enjoy turning natural-edge bowls from unseasoned (green) wood. My selection of wood is usually based on availability of recently harvested hardwood. I also turn candy dishes, salt & pepper mills, and other novelties from dry wood.
